IoT is Advancing but without Enough Security: What You Need to Do

IoT is Advancing but without Enough Security: What You Need to Do

IoT is eminent. And a wide number of nerdy IT specialists are scared as hell.

A recent survey pointed that 78% of IT decision makers accepted that they are skeptical if their business lose crucial data enabled by IoT devices. Amongst them, 72% even said the speed at which IoT adoption is gaining ground is worrisome because they are yet to evolve necessary security arrangements.

As the saying goes, there’s no smoke without fire – the recent WannaCry Ransomware is the best example to point out security issues related to IoT– it infringed and crippled Bank of China’s ATM networks and washing machine networks. In another instance, a company that looked after much of the Internet’s domain name structure was brought down by using somewhat 100,000 “malicious endpoints” from IoT devices. All owing to security lapses in the adoption of IoT infrastructure.

The notion is that IoT is still largely under-secured and poses larger than life security threats and risks as companies are trusting suave IoT devices for some way or the other, as a result jeopardizing their own operational, profitability and safety decisions.

AI is the Answer!!

AI can come to the rescue, whenever security of IoT is the concerning matter. Proponents defend saying machine learning can easily identify usage patterns and send signals to the system, whenever abnormalities are recorded or even occur. Reason: all the IoT devices are limited in function, so it becomes easier to recognize irregularities.

Again, a combination of everything is never a bad idea. Undoubtedly, AI plays a prominent role in uplifting IoT security, but a comprehensive IoT solution would include an amalgamation of everything, like AI, government regulation and standards.

Be a significant part of the digital avalanche with an exhaustive Machine Learning course in Gurgaon.

Though the ever-so-increasing tech industry is capable of devising an effective solution, but the real deal in here is to perform everything on a breakneck timetable. At present, in between IoT security and IoT adoption, the latter is winning.

Here’s a set of suggestions that helps in latching on with the IoT without compromising on the security part:

  • Implement an integrated approach – Anytime, more is better. The companies that are relying on IoT should seek to integrate management solutions and welcome a powerful IoT framework to boost smooth data movement and good connectivity that pulls in data into a robust analytical environment, which is albeit more sophisticated and makes room for flawless behavioral analysis, which is automated – “by integrating those components, you can be more confident that what you’ve got from a feed in an IoT environment is more statistically valid,” Chris Moyer, CTO and VP-cybersecurity at DXC said.
  • Choose the perfect IoT devices – Formidable ecosystem and having a series of companions that shows no inhibitions in the manner they share information stems out to be the right IoT devices.
  • Look forward to Edge Devices and IoT Gateways – To counter the lack of security measures, top of the line companies are using Edge Devices and IoT Gateways to bind more impregnable layers of protection between insecure equipments and the internet.
  • Go create standards – From a macro level perspective, you should ensure a 360-degree IoT security for the next few years and that is only possible if you start setting standards in your business as well as in tech from now on.

Diverse and Scientifically Overpowering, Python is the Holy Grail for Tech Nerds, Here’s Why

Diverse and Scientifically Overpowering, Python is the Holy Grail for Tech Nerds, Here’s Why

Python? What comes to your mind – the venomous snake or the multifaceted programming language?

For data freaks, of course it’s the latter.

If you are thinking of imbibing some cool skills this New Year, consider Data Science with Python Training from DexLab Analytics. Python is open source, 100% free and easily available online. Also, it’s a general-purpose programming language, which is versatile in every way and can be used for a plethora of purposes – video games, websites, business tools, and lot more.

For first-time coders, Python is EPIC

To get started with Python, you just have to install it in your computer, open a notepad app and begin coding. Python is designed immaculately to generate cleaner, easy to gauge lines of code. The code is easy to read and write, and somehow closely resembles English. In terms of readability, words like ‘not’ and ‘in’ are deliberately used to make the language superfluous and not sound like any arcane language.

Moreover, the Python web framework Django is a game-changer. What once used to take hours in PHP could now be completed in minutes in Python. No doubts, codes compiled here will be a lot faster, effective and stable.

Python is productive yet dangerous

It turns complex tasks into a piece of cake. Almost all the programming tasks are made easier with Python than its other counterparts. And this is known as Rapid Application Development. But of course, as it’s said with great power come great responsibility. You have to devise prudent ways of how to use this power to do something good, and not evil. Because, everything comes at a cost.

Python is a scripting language

The programs are furnished into Python’s interpreter, which eventually runs them directly so as to avoid compiling. It happens with some other programming languages too. But in here, the execution is faster and easier. Also, you receive feedback on your python code, like finding errors quickly, which is an added advantage. All this makes programming fun!!

Python is cross platform

Linux, Windows, Mac – Python can run on any computer operating system, large or small. Whether its large company servers or tiny PCs like Raspberry Pi, the cross platform feature poses no problem. In fact, Python programs can be run on iOS and Android devices.

Free and open-source

This means you can use Python without paying a single penny –just download and run python, and make any program your own once you write it with Python and also share if you feel like. The source code of Python is open to all, if you ever want to know how the Python developers drafted their code, take a peep into the code. It will help, trust me (though the code is written in a different programming language).

How Precision Medicine is breaking off Chokehold on Healthcare with Big Data?

How Precision Medicine is breaking off Chokehold on Healthcare with Big Data?

Big data is showering its miraculous effects on a range of industries. And the healthcare industry is not left out of the bandwagon. Precision medicine is at the brink of a revolution in individualizing treatment, and healthcare professionals are devising ways to prevent and treat diseases with granularity down to a single patient’s genome. Nevertheless, many out there shudders thinking if such humongous amounts of personal data stored in servers becomes vulnerable to threats from attackers. What will happen then?

It is expected the global precision medicine market will hit $88.64 billion – FYI, precision market is a specialized domain that includes data on a patient’s genes, lifestyle and environment to draw a clear picture of his/her health.

Busting the Security Challenges

Numerous efforts are being implemented to secure the storage facilities in which large chunks of genetic information are stored. Last year, a leading cyber-security company, Northrop Grumman Corp. published a white paper penning down clear guidelines about how to secure precision medicine data. The company seeks out to aid the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the White House Precision Medicine Initiative.

To this, the AHA’s Institute for Precision Cardiovascular Medicine developed the Precision Medicine Platform to boost research and treatment of this particular kind of treatment. The platform is rich in functions, including high-end analytic tools that enable advanced computing and sharing of clinical trial data, hospital data, pharmaceutical data and personal data. The security build-up in here is very strong, and it passes through all crucial compliance tests, according to Laura Stevens, AHA data scientist – “Even if you have data that you’d like to use, it’s sort of a walled garden behind your data so that it’s not accessible to people that don’t have access to the data, and it’s also HIPPA compliant. It meets the utmost secure standards of healthcare today,” she explained.

Boons of Data

The National Institutes of Health is creating a database to store genetic information to facilitate researchers in curing and preventing cancer and other diseases. It aims to collect data from around 1 million Americans. For applying data on a larger, more diverse population range, genetic information should be collected from larger demographics – that’s more feasible.

The AHA’s Myresearchlegacy.org invites individuals to donate their health, genetic and lifestyle data to aid researchers in treating patients. At present, the researchers are busy conducting precision medicine studies on treating diseases, like pancreatic, breast and other types of cancers. Not much development would have been possible without the advancement in computing power and storage coupled with big data and AI.

“The combination of benefits from process optimization, the ongoing transformation of medical data collection along the analog to digital continuum, and the availability of cheap memory and processing power and coding talent make the evolution of precision medicine inevitable,” David Sable, who runs the Special Situations Life Sciences Fund wrote in Forbes. Apart from managing the fund, he teaches entrepreneurship in biotechnology at Columbia University.

For always, the platform services, like clusters with Apache Spark big data framework, Amazon Elastic MapReduce and EMR thrives to pump up aggregation and analytics. Sometimes, where AI and machine learning tends to be time-consuming, EMR clusters work like a miracle in scaling and making the entire set of things faster to implement, thereby answering research questions faster and identifying crucial insights related to healthcare.

For in-depth understanding on Apache Spark, get certified in Apache Spark Training by DexLab Analytics. They are a prime Apache Spark Training institute in India.
